welcome to ATOTW

In one Age, called the Fourth Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose in the Land of the Crystal Throne. It sped across the great Aryth Ocean to the Tai’Seanchan coast. It continued over the Mountains of Mist, picking up the scent of Two Rivers fine tabac and singing along to a tune made by a Tinker’s tea kettle. It swirled around the vast prairie known as the Caralain Grass, with it’s Black Tower fortress, and the island city of Tar Valon, home of the fabled Ogier-made White Tower...The wind swept through the valleys, skimming along the lake that once was Shadar Logoth, lifting the raven in flight. It howled through the Blight past the snorts and bellows of Trollocs, carrying on it the stench of their cookpots and rot as it whipped by a Myrddraal without creating so much as a ripple in its dark cloak. If you listen closely to the wind you can hear the sound of “friends” whispering in the dark as it whistles by you. The shadows beckon you to their warm embrace; where will the wind take you? For you must know, the wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of Time. But it was A beginning.

The Feast of Lights is a holiday marking the end of a year and the beginning of the next, celebrated by filling homes and streets with lights, lamps, and candles. It is a joyous holiday celebrated by much of the Westlands, and this open thread is available to any who would like to participate in the festivities regardless of their location.

Of particular note, this is also the time of year when the Towers recognize their apprentices who have managed to climb a rank during their training. We have no playable characters rising this year, but it is safe to assume both Towers did raise people.

This thread will be open to stand-alone posts from your characters' points of view, in or out of the Towers, from December 1st to February 28th. We look forward to seeing what you come up with, and have a wonderful holiday season!

"Once again, His glorious cloak shall smother the Pattern of all things, and the Great Lord shall stretch forth His hand to claim what is His."
